About Pooja

Pooja P is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and self-esteem concerns, and also supports those facing addiction, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties.

Pooja draws on several therapy approaches to guide sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally focused methods support working with strong feelings in relationships and personal life.

Her way of working is practical and straightforward. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps that can be tried between meetings. Mindfulness tools may be used to help manage stress and anxious moments when they arise.

Pooja speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi, which can make it easier for some people to explain difficult feelings. She accepts international clients and can discuss which language will work best during the first contact.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online booking options.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current thinking and closeness. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It often involves clear tasks between sessions that suit an online format. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and manage strong feelings in relationships and personal situations, and it can guide how to respond differently in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. They will explain options and adjust the plan as progress is made or as life changes.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what is needed. Confirm the current session formats when booking, as options can vary, and discuss which arrangement best fits everyday routines.
